Guild Wars 2

Topics are constantly being made, often regarding something that ANet has given a clear answer of Yes or No.
Stickying each of the topics with an Official Reply is impractical, and I know there’s a Dev Tracker, but the most practical sollution is to make a single Sticky in the Suggestion forum section where every single suggestion that was given an official response is indicated there.
The Sticky name and its text would be something like this:
Suggestions Already Answered

1. Previewing Items (Equipment and Dyes) on Black Lion Trading Post
   Accepted/Team intends to implement. Mid priority.
2. Looting items from other players’ inventory in PvP
   Denied/Team does not intend to implement.
3. Lipstick customization
   Pending/Team is discussing the possibility. Low priority.

I like this plan except for one weakness. People that post the same suggestion that’s already been addressed multiple times in many a thread aren’t going to use Search or read the sticky. Even if they do read the sticky, they’ll still post in hopes of changing the devs’ minds (on the “no” responses) or hurrying them up (on the “yes” ones).

So it won’t stop the spam. It will, however, give a way to shut down an answered suggestion thread. A mod can link to the sticky and lock the thread.

They aren’t likely to use the search, but if the Sticky has a proper name like:
Suggestions Already Answered, it’s likely to be read by alot of them, even if not all.
It will help not only calm down some players, as well as prevent some of the useless flood of posts.
